RE: [IPHCWORLDWIDE] Link-up on WHO DGDear Andy,
We logged on a bit late so may have missed important statements. However, what we did see/listen to was most unimpressive. Although language is a constraint, Mocumbi too was unimpressive. And the contender from the Cook Islands came across as pompous and pedantic.
Why were the other contenders (esp. Frenk and Piot )not participating ? 
Regards,
David Sanders.

  Hi David (and everyone else), 
  It's an open and public debate. In South Africa, the site is in Durban at the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine, so you might not want to go there. Andyone who is in Geneva can simply arrive at the venue:

  Geneva International Conference Centre, CICG, International Conference Centre Geneva, 15, rue de Varembé , 1211 Genève 20 (15.00-17.00 Geneva time) - we have plenty of space as we've had to take a large room due to the early demand for places.

  If you can't make that, or are not in Geneva, you'll need a computer with internet access and you can listen (low bandwidth) or watch (high bandwidth) by visiting www.ihn.info.

  If you can't manage that, you could always e-mail us in questions or comments, either now or anytime over the next few days, to questions at ihn.info.

  And, if you can't manage any of those, you can check out http://www.kaisernetwork.org/healthcast/who/19jan03 where an archived webcast will be available on Monday, and a transcript of the forum will be posted later in the week. 

  And keep in touch, visit the IHN website or the Exchange website www.healthcomms.org for details of follow up activities. Corresponding information will also be posted on the IPHC website www.iphcgolbal.org and the PHM website www.phmovement.org

  Please do send in questions - lots of them!!! We will be continuing the dialogue even after the selection has been made, and will start to facilitate a range of events to encourage engagement of the new Director-General elect with civil society.

  best wishes, 
  Andrew

  Dear All, 

  Andy Chetley has sent out a mail advising of a link-up (electronic and video in some countries) on Sunday evening. Candidates for the WHO DG post will make statements and be available for questions. I think that I have been informed of this because I and a colleague, Mickey Chopra, wrote a short piece for The Lancet (Jan.11) on key issues for the incoming WHO leadership.

  I am not sure how open the scheduled debate is (Andy, can you shed light on this?) but should PHM/IPHC/Medact/WEMOS intervene in this? 

  It would be useful if Andy could reply to both the PHA and IPHC lists. PLease copy responses to my home email which I will read on the weekend- 

  Thanks, 
  David Sanders.
